PlotHelen Harris (Hudson) is living the perfect carefree singleton life in New York, when her sister and brother-in-law are killed in a car accident. Helen is left with her sister's three children - and finds that she must choose between the life she loves and the life she must lead.

VerdictThis is two hours of unrelenting schmaltz, all the more unpleasant for its dependence on stereotypes (mothers are frumps, while childless characters are hard-faced bitches). Hudson deserves better.
